Archäopark Vogelherd
An archaeological park beside the Lone Valley World Heritage caves, where you can see excavated small ivory mammoths and experience Stone Age life.
Archäopark Vogelherd is located in Niederstotzingen, about 30 km northeast of Ulm. It serves as an exhibition site for the Swabian Jura Ice Age caves World Heritage property. In the park you can visit the Vogelherd Cave. The exhibition hall displays original ivory figurines of a mammoth and a lion, dating back about 40,000 years. Outdoors, interactive activities such as making fire, throwing spears, and crafting stone tools make it great for children. The famous “Lion Man” was also unearthed in the Lone Valley, at Hohlenstein Cave, and its original is held at Museum Ulm. The park is closed in winter and usually closed on Mondays. Public transport is inconvenient, so driving is recommended.
